The Wheatsheaf in Horsham

We had a very tasty Sunday lunch with our family. The Landlady and team were all lovely and made us very welcome; happily accommodating our 6 month grandson and his pushchair with absolutely no difficulty.

Lovely country pub with great staff and a friendly landlady.

The menu boasted a number of Brazilian dishes. My wonderful wife has recently been diagnosed as wheat intolerant so after considerable investigations we decided to give this pub/restaurant a go. On arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful 5/5. They displayed much better than average knowledge of intolerance to wheat which really raised our hopes to the point we were planning our next visit. Again 5/5. Brilliant. We ordered two of the Brazilian dishes and patiently awaited their arrival. I had ordered the Lamb Shank Xim-Xim my wife went for the Feijoada. The plates arrived in good time and I was presented with a spoon to eat my meat with! The lamb was sooooooo tender a spoon was all that was needed. However, the flavour of my favourite meat was masked with an over seasoned saltiness I should point out on the salty scale, I do like my food to be a little salty, much more so than my wife, but this was just a fraction too salty for my preference. Not too salty to eat, but the enjoyment of eating spoon cut lamb was certainly hugely stifled I was eating for fuel not for pleasure. Not great 😞 My wife was, in the meantime, picking around her Feijoada not enjoying it at all. My wife could not eat it and left well over 90 percent of the dish. Again, very much, not great. With a higher tolerance to salt, I tried my wife's dish and it was disgusting... Even for me. When we were asked how it was my wife told the server it was way too salty. The young girl server left and shortly afterwards an older lady appeared who said "Brazilian dishes are supposed to be salty". I understand that cuisine from other countries will often have different tastes, but I really struggle to believe that a whole country would spend time and effort combining beautiful ingredients such as smoked pork ribs, smoked pancetta, cured sausages and pork belly only to destroy the amazing flavours with a fistful of salt, not to mention the health issues Brazil must be facing with high blood pressure,heart disease and stoke if they are indeed eating this type of salty food every day! There is no need to add salt to smoked products, the smoking cures the meat without the need for salt and my wife's dish had two types of smoked meat. To say we were disappointed with the food is a major understatement. To say the response of the staff was acceptable would be dishonest. There was no offer to remove part of the cost of the uneaten dish from the bill and no apology for the dish. We paid our dues, left a tip appropriate for the service we had received and left to consume some drinks to wash away the unpleasant saltiness in our mouths. I would advise giving this one a miss if you like tasty food, great service and your taste buds.

Great seating next to a play area. My granddaughter loved the ship themed play area, and we all enjoyed the food. In our group we tried the Sweet Potato Quesadilla, the Caesar Salad - both the vegetarian and the meat option, the Brazilian Fish Stew and the children's Chicken Goujons and chips. The chips were perfect, and the dishes were all delicious. The portions were generous. The staff were very helpful, and we definitely intend to return!!

Nice little pub, with a children’s play area. Worse point of Guinness ever.

We did not visit the pub but the small cafe/coffee outlet in their roadside carpark. Great coffee and great staff.

We pulled in on our way back to our campsite and I'm so glad we did. The food was amazing,especially their haddock and chips 😋 great food and great tunes.

Authentic Brazilian food. Very good. 5 stars if the service had been quicker.

Great pub family friendly and good food. Service was exceptional the land lady was super helpful and friendly - she even recommended a drink 'Tooty Fruity' which we all loved and it went down very well indeed. If you're looking for a pub with great service good food and a park for the children - look no further.

Loved this place. The team were so helpful, definitely went above and beyond. Great play area, good food, good drinks. Will definitely be back when we're next in the area!

Lovely birthday meal for party of 10, various different starters including home made bread. Mains tasty I opted for lamb tagine which was huge !

Lovely friendly place to eat with separate pub and dining areas, and a large garden... Specializes in Brazilian food.... Delicious.

Amazing pub with amazing food aswell.

Amazing food, great service and atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Great for the kids with a spacious playground. We have become regular customers instantly.

Booked a last minute Sunday dinner for 20 with 4 families and range of ages. We were made so welcome by all the staff and had an amazing afternoon. The food is delicious and the range variety is very good. The lamb wellington went down particularly well. The kids loved the play area - particularly the pirate boat!!! An absolute diamond of a place with very accommodating owners who made us feel very at home!

Been a few times for Sunday lunch. Warm welcome and efficient service. The beef, chicken and especially the pork have been very good. Lovely fresh veg and best roast potatoes in the area. We went to a highly praised establishment nearby, and were not impressed as everything was piled on the plate- reminded me of my school lunches. The Wheatsheaf serve vegetables, gravy and very good cauliflower cheese separately. Very dog friendly. We’ll be back!

I saw the reviews and was excited to try this.pub and I was also liking the menu with the slightly different menu.I did if they have a nice garden as it was a beautiful evening to which they said yes on the phone. Well, the garden was scruffy, unloved, dirty with old shabby tables. We ordered a few things and it was awful. The so called freshly baked bread was old and stale. The halloumi bits deep fried and greasy. Pulled pork ended up being fatty pork belly. So not sure where the reviews come from. Definitely wasted money that night.

Great pub and good food, we live down the road and it’s our local and we love it! Only criticism would be get rid of the play area and add more parking as it’s so dangerous the cars and pedestrians walking down such a busy road when the car park is full. Shop does great takeaway food and fab pastries but coffee is a little pricey.

My first visit. The decor is fabulous, cosy, and welcoming. The staff were attentive, but we weren't rushed at all. The burgers were delicious, lots of varieties. One of us had the fish cowder, although it had a Brazilian name! Some unusual dishes available as well as classic pub food. Great location for lunch before visiting the Sussex prairie gardens as literally five minutes apart! Definitely one I will be returning too, great customer service.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch, belly pork for me and lamb wellington for my wife. The food was very well cooked and presented including excellent roast veg. Staff very helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was good.

Could be so much better, nipped in for coffee and pastries for friends, no pastries available and boiling hot coffee. Might have just Timed it wrong but probably won't go back.

We stopped for a late lunch, never having been this way before and were very impressed. Both I and my Grandson have worked in hospitality so we know the difference and here the welcome was genuine and they had my favoured low-alcohol beer Guinness Zero. We chose a steak sandwich and a quesadilla for lunch and weren't disappointed, with awesome chips and clear plates from both of us

Stopped for a lunch and enjoyed the place a lot more than I expected. The food was excellent, service without a fuss and a warm friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be heading back........ Again 😁😁😁

Came across this place completely by accident whilst searching for somewhere else and was intrigued by the Brazilian menu. I have to say we were not disappointed, excellent food, amazing service and all round a wonderful place to visit. Can't wait to return and try some of their other dishes.

Really lovely food, we both had chicken & chorizo ballentine. Dog friendly pub 🐶 Highly recommended ⭐️

Lovely country pub with a friendly local vibe - comfy furnishings - didn't eat here but the food we saw looks delicious

Lovely pub, friendly and welcoming, great food.

Fantastic country pub, lovely food and friendly staff. A real buzz when we were there, and great live music from Harry. We’ll definitely be returning soon!

Fantastic food, staff were amazing, great meals for Mothers Day

I’ve just been to the Wheatsheaf for a birthday lunch and I cannot speak highly enough about this lovely pub. The food was super delicious, I had the Caribbean fish stew. Amazingly tasty, with haddock, king prawns and a lovely sauce. My husband had the all day breakfast which was equally delicious. Apparently the sausages were top notch. I followed up with cheese and biscuits with port. The Stilton was just about the best I have ever had and the pickle had a delicious hint of chilli. The service was very fast and the waitress was very polite and attentive. The pub had a log fire and the decor was very unique and well thought out. Just an excellent experience. Thank you.

I had a lovely lunch here last week. Really friendly service and tasty food. Definitely coming back to try more of the Brazilian specialities 😁 My friend absolutely loved the Brazilian fish stew 😍

Delicious food served in an interesting, relaxed dining area by lovely friendly staff. We have been before and we will definately be going again, working our way through the menu.

Great hidden gem! Remarkable food, Brazilian and English cuisine. Very friendly staff.

Great food, fantastic staff and a nice clean pint. What more could one want.

What a find! A cosy, welcoming pub with an excellent restaurant. The Brazilian chef is producing dishes that compete with any restaurant in the county. Classic dishes as well as Brazilian specialties. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service. They squeezed myself and a friend in, even though they were very busy. Lamb Wellington was delicious and if I had had more room inside I could have eaten more portions of the amazing Stick Toffee Pudding. Great place for a drink too.

A nice pub, great kids boat play area, good selection of beers, some interesting items on the menu, I recommend the Quesadillas. Handy location between Sayers Common and Henfield and generally plenty of parking except when very busy in the summer.

Cosy, nice wood stove, interesting and tasty food choices. Free parking.

Had a wonderful lunch in this lovely pub.We were made welcome the minute we arrived, service was impeccable and the food was glorious. This was our first visit but definitely not our last.Would highly recommend.

Mid country walk stop - morning coffees were very welcome!

Food good...service good...bit quiet but summertime it really buzzes! A local pub and friendly.

Beautiful and exquisite food and hearty portions every time with excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere that will bring you back again and again ;)

Friendly helpful staff, excellent food at a sensible price. Most enjoyable lunch.

Beautiful pub with open fireplace. Dog-friendly. There was no real vegan option, but the veggie burger was vegan when the cheese was removed. It would be good to have more vegan options, but the burger was quite tasty. Service was slow but quite friendly.

Excelent food, amazing Staff, good vibes, the place is note 10 !!!! Highly recommended ever !!!

Lovely meal in Nice surroundings and they gave me a birthday shot that was lovely . I'll be going again.

Great food and service every time

Amazing roast!! Huge portions, so we had to take a load home. Extra gravy was served as standard (great touch) and service was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back soon.

Great pub and really tasty food! We were made to feel really welcome and will definitely go back :)

Amazing evening, the Moqueca was fabulous! Service great and attentive, atmosphere lovely and comfortable the entire evening was absolutely great !

I had the pleasure of visiting The Wheatsheaf Pub, and I couldn't wait to share my experience with you. From the moment we stepped inside, I was captivated by its charming and inviting atmosphere. The tasteful decor, adorned with rustic wooden accents and warm earth tones, creates an ambiance that is both cozy and elegant. During our visit for lunch, I was delighted by the diverse menu options available. The impeccable execution of flavors left me craving for more. The attention to detail truly shined through each dish they presented. What impressed me even more was the attentive service we received, even during the bustling lunch hours. The staff at The Wheatsheaf went above and beyond to ensure that we felt welcomed and well taken care of. I am already eagerly planning my next visit to The Wheatsheaf for dinner, as I can only imagine the culinary wonders that await me during this time.

Top pub, brilliant landlady and staff and excellent food. Will definitely be back to test out the comfy sofas.

What a lovely place. Went with a wedding party the day before the wedding itself. Child friendly, and a pirate themed playground that even as a 46 year old man, I felt like going to. Large amount of wines and beers to choose from, and the food really surprised me. When somewhere says "home made" this venue means it. I just had a burger, and it was clearly exactly as described. Delicious, and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Well worth a visit.

Pulled into carpark the outside was dirty and messy looking. So did not go inside

Lovely food, let down by drinks prices (£2.70 for a 170ml children's orange juice)

Fantastisk upplevelse, kommer gärna tillbaka 👨‍🍳🙏🏽

Delicious food for a great price. Very friendly staff and kid friendly, too.

Great pub, great food. A little hidden gem.

It was pants roast dinner awful parsnips carrots Rock hard hair in cauliflower cheese really disappointing we booked the day before got put in the garden even down to condiments not being brought to us even though they said they would we had to go and ask. The man who served us even had a rip under the arm of his TShirt . The restrooms need some attention aswell. Such a shame as we were really looking forward to eating there 😞

Prebooked day b4 and arrived on time was then seated in garden found hair in my cauliflower cheese ,vegetables hard and undercooked, when son asked for ketchup for his burger was forgotten had to get it ourselves very disappointing never will return shame lovely location

First time here, lovely old pub very eclectic, food ok, quite pricey, IMHO not worth the money.

Lovely food, lovely staff and the children loved the pirate ship in the Garden

Missed out on food as we weren't told service was about to end when we ordered a beer. Real shame as the food sounded awesome. I still recommend the place as it's a little gem and worth a visit

Great little find. Fab service and good menu.

Lovely pub with great food (generous portions) and friendly staff.

Very welcoming staff. Causer salad simple, with nicely seasoned freshly cooked chicken chunks but basic toasted white bread croutons. Let down by the loos...in greatneed of redecoration / deep clean.

Visited last year great food good service, visited this time food just passable service very slow. Not impressed!.

Food very good but decor stained and needs deep clean. Do not like dogs friendly policy. Service charge!

Great pub with fantastic play area for kids.

Brilliant place highly recommend!! Food is amazing! Garden is perfect for a sunny day. The Moqueca is a must try!!

Really good food very friendly host

Came here for a family meal on Friday evening whilst staying in the area for a wedding. Decided on this fantastic place due to its excellent reviews and it did not disappoint! The food, drinks, service and atmosphere were all exceptional and we had a wonderful time here. I would 100% recommend this place - I had the best chicken Caesar salad I’ve EVER had and the rest of my family loved their starters and mains too. Friendly staff, wonderful food and great drinks. Service and atmosphere were great too. Thank you for your hospitality. We will definitely visit again if we’re ever in the area!

We visited at lunchtime, and there were four of us. The landlord was very friendly and attentive. The food was very generally very good. The menu has a Brazilian twist, and I had the fish stew, very tasty. I would have given 5 stars but one of our group had the veggie burger which was, for her tastes, too spicy. I did try it, although I normally avoid veggie anything like the plague. It was very spicy, but, to me, the flavour and texture were awful. We had three courses, and that was the only issue, so overall, the food was great. Would definitely visit again.

We had a fantastic afternoon we were a large family group and the staff looked after us amazingly

Really good Brazilian fish stew. Good service and didn't mind our kid wandering around stealing cushions. The climbing frame is a real plus for families. And it was very accessible for the disabled. Shame they only have changing facilities in the ladies but this still seems pretty common in pubs.

Food was ok staff polite. But 10% service charge to carry two plates of food over 8 steps ooom what us with this service charge on anything these days parties of 6 more fair enough but two people.

We stayed at Blacklands farm campsite down the road and decided to walk along for a Sunday roast (had the beef) it was absolutely incredible and I don't say that lightly (my partner is half french so a good cook and a real foodie and it takes a hell of alot to impress him when eating out) it was so delicious we will definitely be coming back soon, lovely garden (our son loved the play area) friendly staff, what more could you ask, not cheap but nothing is nowadays and totally worth it for the quality of meal served. Thank you 😁

Could do with a good clean, dirty plates and glasses left on tables in beer garden, when it didn’t seem very busy

Not quite as good as it looks on the website! Mens toilet out of action so ladies became unisex - not nice. And I hate carpets on the floor of toilets. Limited menu and one of our meals was undercooked and had to be replaced.

Straight to the point - food was average and overpriced for what it was. Toilets were tired and very much in need of a refurbishment, or at least a good clean. £111.00 for a night out for 2 Ouch

Lovely spot, however food was a little bland which is a shame as was really looking forward to the Brazilian influence

Had a smashing rib of beef roast here with family on the weekend. Recommend you book in advance as this pub fills to the brim. Once you arrive and eat, its clear to see why.

Turned up for impromptu dinner and received a warm welcome throughout the evening. All the staff were friendly and the food was really good. Steaks and the fish and chips were excellent and plentiful. Will definitely be making a return visit soon.

Fantastic food and service. Couldn't have wished for more on our special mother's day treat

We booked a table of 6 but 13 turned up and the bar staff coped excellently the food was good and good value for money will revisit again karen or was it Sharon ??? was a true ambassador to your company.

As a Brazilian living in the UK, I cannot express how difficult it is to find Brazilian food made by Brazilians. Until today, I hadn't found food that felt like home. We just went this evening for Brazilian night where they offer a larger range of Brazilian cuisine. I felt like I was eating a meal straight from my grandmother's kitchen. The people were friendly and so considerate, they put is in a quieter corner because they knew we were bringing our dog and they knew how rowdy a Friday evening could be. We had such a lovely time and it really had the best vibes. Thank you Naomi and team, you all were so incredible and I know where to get my feijoada kick now!

Visited here today. Had special lunch menu £10 to include soft drink. Had chicken and bacon melt and chips. Was delicious and excelleng value. Staff ( Naiomi) was very friendly and welcoming.

We had a coffee and a pain aux pommes - warm welcome good food room very chilly

Bloody excellent food and service. Will be back again soon even if it is a 50 mile round trip !

We visited here yesterday and enjoyed a fantastic Sunday roast. 1 lamb Wellington & 1 pork belly. Meat was fantastic and the roast potatoes where the best iv ever had. 10 out of 10 for for od quality. I would recommend eating here.

Great night out. We were a party of 15. We didn't have to pre-order. The staff were friendly. It wasn't too noisy. It was a little chilly, but -4 outside! The chocolate moose dessert was delicious! No crumbs left from everyone's starters or mains either.

Busy, noisy friendly. As a pub should be. AND very helpful...good people!

A gem with added Brazilian flair. Delicious, interesting gastro pub classics with some Brazilian dishes reflective of some of the staff/owners too. It has a cosy, tasteful interior, good drinks selection (including a good range of quality wines by the glass) and attentive but relaxed service. Well worth a trip and there is ample parking. Dog friendly too, which for me is always a plus. Will come again and recommend to others.

The food is absolutely stunning, all home made.

If it were just down to the food and friendly service, this pub would get five stars. The Brazilian fish stew is delicious. However it is in dire need of some TLC. The shabby chic look is very passé and it’s definitely more shabby then chic! Car park is often full.

Great Saturday night live music. Popped in for a drink as we were staying in the area to find the place buzzing! Great fun.

First time there and absolutely fallen in love with it! Food was just...beyond imagining..and the home made bread..uhmmmm... Gets 5 stars from me! 😊

Lovely country pub. We've eaten here a few times, the food has a Brazilian/South American theme and its all delicious! Good play Park and nice garden as well when the weather allows it. And now I know they also do a cracking Sunday roast!

Excellent meal , really friendly and helpful would recommend

Lovely pub, pleasant staff and surroundings.
